This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Built on the northwest edge of Phillip Island, Australia, in 2013 this couple’s residence was converted from a heritage-listed chicory kiln.
The design of the property was developed as part of an ongoing exploration by the client of what might constitute ‘home’ or ‘place’ in a world where the focus is on speed, change and dynamism. The interior landscape uses reconfigurable spaces, which celebrate transformation and offer new possibilities of inhabitation.
